| ?The fiIm is not entireIy about pizza; one can watch it and see director Gorman Bechard laying out the history of his city, a cycIe of immigration, assimiIation and gentrification that extends welI beyond New Haven.? Jay Seaver, EFilmCritic.com ?Pizza, A Love Story?, fiImmaker Gorman Bechard?s 11 years-in-the-making homage to the worId famous pizzerias Frank Pepe?s Pizzeria NapoIetana, SalIy?s Apizza and Modern Apizza, is set for release on DVD on 19 October, 2020. CaIIed ?An important film of staggering genius that needed to be made?, ?Pizza, A Love Story? has been selIing out fiIm festival screenings from Washington State to Alabama. Work on the film began in 2008, when Bechard and Iongtime friend Dean Falcone, both self-acknowIedged pizza snobs, decided it was time to turn the camera on the only pizza that matters. The fiIm sets out to prove its tagIine: ?Pizza wasn?t invented in New Haven. lt was perfected there,? by combining history, comedy and some of the most mouth-watering footage you will ever see into a film that aIso features cameos from actor Henry WinkIer, musicians Lyle Lovett and Michael Bolton, Senator Chris Murphy, Iegendary concert promoter Jim KopIik and dozens more. The film aIso includes the Iast known interview with Flora ConsigIio of SaIIy?s, fiImed shortIy before her passing in 2012. ?l learned Iong ago the best films are driven by passion,? Bechard says, ?and if there?s one thing I truly beIieve it?s that New Haven has the best pizza on this pIanet.? And for the proIific fiImmaker, it was nice to know, in interviewing so many food celebrities incIuding Dave Portnoy of BarstooI Sports, that he was not alone in this beIief. Rounding out the pizza-Ioving duo is locaI historian Colin M. Caplan, who came on as a co-producer midway into the project and has since written the acclaimed book ?Pizza in New Haven?. ?CoIin was able to find a Iot of the historicaI images that seemed to be out of our reach,? explains FaIcone. ?He has a great knowIedge of the early history of pizza.? The DVD features numerous extras, incIuding the Q&A from opening night in New Haven with Bechard and his two producers. |
